yp

i've read man pages, setup yp with

domainname <name>
echo <name> /etc/defaultdomain
ypinit -m
touch /var/yp/ypserv.log

then after looking at rc (to find how to start the server without
rebooting the pc) i found i needed to run ypbind too (at least to make
it create /var/yp/bindings). after looking on monkey.org to see why
ypbind hang i found i need to run ypserv before ypbind, so i run them

ypserv
ypbind

then i looked again at rc, and run rpc.yppasswd the same way it is run
inside rc. all the three processes are running now. there's nothing
inside /var/log/* or /var/yp/ypserv.log that makes me thing there's
something wrong,  well there' really nothing at all that says
anything...

# cat /var/yp/ypserv.log
Jun 15 12:27:18 yplog opened
#

i suppose everything is up and running properly, however when i run
ypbind from a freebsd machine (after setting up the same domainname) the
bindings dir is not created inside /var/yp, and after waiting a bit
ypbind exits, so i think it cannot find the yp server, but i can't
understand why... there are no logs at all on both machines...

btw the freebsd machine is running under vmware 3.1 if that makes any
difference... (it's configured with its own ip address, it's not doing
nat with the machine vmware is running on)
